Title: The Importance of Being Idle Artist: Oasis Ref: 2002 Tempo: 110 Key: Am
****
I sold my soul for the second time Cause the man, he don't pay me I begged my landlord for some more time He said "Son, the bills waiting"
My best friend called me the other night He said "Man, are you crazy?" My girlfriend told me to get a life She said "boy, you lazy"
But I don't mind As long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine I'll be fine If you give me a minute A mans got a limit I can't get a life if your hearts' not in it
[instrumental]
But I don't mind As long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine I'll be fine If you give me a minute A mans got a limit I can't get a life if your hearts' not in it
I lost my faith in the summertime Cause it don't stop raining The sky all day's as black as night But I'm not complaining
I begged my doctor for one more line He said "Son, words fail me" It ain't no place to be killing time But I guess I'm just laz-y
But I don't mind As long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine I'll be fine If you give me a minute A mans got a limit I can't get a life if your hearts' not in it
